Voice Of Monarch Butterflies: Middle Eastern Anthology By Ten Poets From Ganges To Nile

To kindle a flame on Middle Eastern contemporary poetry in English that is relatively unknown to the Western readers, Voice of Monarch Butterflies brings together the poems by ten emerging to well-accomplished poets including Soodabeh Saeidnia, Mohammad Forouzani, Debasis Mukhopadhyay, Aimal Zaman, Abu Sufian, Ash Bahget, Anooshka Khazaeie, Ahmad Al-Khatat, Mohamed Samy and Latif Shareef Dhmayd who are originally from different countries like Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, and even farther like Bangladesh and India. The shimmering elements of Middle Eastern poetry and art either flow visibly in their English words or hide behind the modern and fancy lines but finally show off themselves to the reader through the pieces and short poems, which have been selected among the captivating lines of joy, nature, life and love to despair, distress, grief and death. This collection is like a terrace on the hanging gardens of poetry inviting readers to hear the voice of migratory butterflies.
